Media Overview

The iPhone version offers similar controls to SlingPlayer Mobile for BlackBerry, including its novel ribbon interface. But the new iPhone app takes advantage of that handset's touch screen and larger display.

Sling Media revealed that HD streaming will be coming to Mac users via Sling.com, and they plan to submit the Sling iPhone app for approval in Q1 of this year.

Like SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Mobile, Palm, Symbian, UIQ, and BlackBerry (beta) platforms, this iPhone version will let you access one or more Slingboxes from your mobile device, and watch your TV stations on-the-go.

Sling Media announced late Monday that it will release an iPhone client app for its Slingbox line of place-shifting video players by the end of March, as well as offering support for high-definition video streaming for Mac users for the very first time.

Research in Motion hasn't added a TV tuner to any of its popular Blackberry devices but Sling Media just introduced software that enables Slingbox owners to watch content from their home TV on a Blackberry connected to the AT&T or T-Mobile networks.

Sling Media's Brian Jaquet talks about the upcoming Slingbox PRO-HD and Slingplayer Mobile for Blackberry.

Thanks to Buy.com and Sling Media, Dr. Phil gives away Slingbox PROs to his audience in celebration of his 1000th episode.

In a video produced by the folks at Sling Commmunity, Sling Media's Vicky Shum demonstrates the upcoming SlingPlayer Mobile software for BlackBerry on a Pearl 8120.
